When NaCl is added to water, the correct responses are:

  • separates into ions
  • most likely will conduct electricity

NaCl dissociates into its constituent ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻) when dissolved in water, which allows the solution to conduct electricity. The other options are incorrect because NaCl does not display covalent molecule properties; it is an ionic compound.
